LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams will have a joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Wednesday instead of the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Rams announced the switch because the round-trip commute from their facility at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, California, to the Cowboys’ practice in Oxnard is shorter than going to the Chargers facility in El Segundo.
“It wasn’t good for them logistically. If it’s not good for them, it’s not good for us,” Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said after Monday’s practice.
